regarding the subject line:

1) download http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst (I used a
   browser - command line utilities for this abound, too: cURL,
   libWWW's comline, etc.)

2) perl -ne "print `ping $1` if m|://([^/]+).*North Am|" mirrors.lst
   (there are probably gawkish and shellish ways to do this, but I
   lean towards perl for one-liners lately.  Perhaps my crude
   solution will flush out more polished ones.)

regarding the rest, I dunno, I never tried that.
